Nutrition for College Students
Online Infographic | Information Design Project
Overview
This project focused on designing an online infographic that translates credible nutrition research into a clear, approachable format for college students. The goal was to make practical health information easy to scan, actionable, and realistic for students with limited time and budgets.
Problem
Nutrition advice for college students is often:
Overwhelming or overly technical
Unrealistic for tight budgets and busy schedules
Text-heavy and difficult to retain
Lacking clear, actionable takeaways
The challenge was to simplify research-backed information without losing credibility, while designing for short attention spans and digital sharing.
Research & Design Process
I combined research-driven content development with visual hierarchy and layout exploration to transform complex information into a clear visual narrative.
Conducted topic research using credible health sources (CDC, USDA, Harvard School of Public Health)
Defined key messages and structured a clear content narrative
Analyzed effective infographic design patterns and hierarchy systems
Sketched layout concepts and early digital compositions
Developed icon-based visual system to reduce text density
Built grid-based layout in Figma to guide flow and readability
Iterated based on feedback to refine spacing, hierarchy, and clarity
Added supporting statistics and strengthened visual closure
